Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10

Had no problems with Intrepid at first, but then login wasn't possible
anymore. After entering username and password in the gnome login-gui,
nothing happend and I got the username prompt again. Same problem in the
terminal. After entering username and password, I got again the login
prompt. There was no message like 'login incorrect', just the prompt
again.

I solved the problem by editing the files /etc/pam.d/common-auth and
/etc/pam.d/common-password:

Old /etc/pam.d/common-auth (I'm not 100% sure about this):
auth [succes=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth requisite pam_dey.so
auth required pam_permit.so
auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate

New /etc/pam.d/common-auth:
auth [succes=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth requisite pam_dey.so
auth required pam_permit.so
#auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate

Old /etc/pam.d/common-password (again, not 100% sure about that):
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_uni.so obscure sha512
password requisite pam_deny.so
password required pam_permit.so
password optional pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok use_first_pass


New /etc/pam.d/common-password:
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_uni.so obscure sha512
password requisite pam_deny.so
password required pam_permit.so
#password optional pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok use_first_pass
